Wow, I was stunned after reading this news. UK police have seized $6 billion worth of Bitcoin from a Chinese scammer, Zhiming Qian — this is the largest crypto seizure to date. Over 61,000 BTC! It means this person was committing fraud on a very large scale.



Zhiming Qian ran a massive Ponzi scheme that defrauded over 128,000 people. He took money from elderly and middle-class savers by promising false profits. He fled China in 2017 with fake documents. Now he could face up to 14 years in prison, along with charges of major fraud and money laundering.

Seeing such major criminal cases, it seems there is still a lot of crime happening in the crypto space. It’s good that at least law enforcement was successful this time.
